SLLA Lakes and Dams Committee, along with Foster Lake and Pond Management, Inc., have worked together to design and implement a customized strategy for nuisance aquatic vegetation control for SLLA. SLLA understands the lakes are used for multiple recreational activities including fishing, boating, and swimming.
Over the last two growing seasons, our focus has been to address aquatic vegetation that may inhibit recreational activities and specifically those species that have been designated as invasive in North Carolina. In 2018, members of SLLA Lakes and Dams rode with FLPM during service visits in order to observe aquatic vegetation growth first hand. These observations have allowed SLLA Lakes and Dams to provide feedback to FLPM and devise a clear directive for ongoing aquatic vegetation control.
Please note, FLPM only “spot-treats” aquatic vegetation. Aquatic algaecide and herbicide applications are isolated to areas where infestation levels are deemed “treatable”. As such, FLPM has been directed to allow aquatic vegetation in the middle of coves to grow undisturbed in order to provide natural fish habitat.
FLPM will coordinate with SLLA Lakes and Dams if aquatic vegetation starts to reach thresholds in these areas that require treatment. FLPM will continue to provide detailed reports of observations and treatments following each service visit.

Info: Larvicides are products to help control mosquitoes outside your home. They work by killing mosquito larvae and pupae before they can grow into biting adults. When used according to product label instructions, larvicides do not harm people, pets, or the environment

•Since 2014, total operating costs are +14%, consistent with inflation rates, while dues have risen less than 5% - This is not sustainable.

•Maintenance of our aging infrastructure including 27 miles of roads, 8 dams, 15 buildings, all recreational facilities, all common green space, and the yard waste site has increased 28% since 2014. Maintenance is the key driver of the overall 14% increase.

•As more people join our community full-time, there is more “wear & tear” on the assets listed above and repairs and replacements will continue to be necessary.

The Near-Term Benefits:

•The proposed 6.3% increase of $67 in 2019, and 2.5% ($28-$33) in subsequent years will ensure our infrastructure is well maintained and our amenities like the pool, stable, and fireworks continue to be a part of what makes our community so special.

•The increase will also fund improvements to security with additional CCTV and lighting coverage in common areas to deter costly vandalism which has escalated in recent years.

•Additionally, the increase will fund special projects to help our community transition from second home to full-time homeowner status and better meet the needs of all ages, all year round.

The Long-Term Benefits:

•The most important long-term benefit is increasing the value of your home – The better Seven Lakes is financially and operationally, the more desirable it, and your home, become.

What’s at Stake:

•A “NO” vote puts all of the above benefits at risk. We can no longer “kick the can down the road” without negative consequences.
